Stella Center

Stella Center provides care to those suffering from biological effects of trauma-related mental symptoms through a procedure called the Stellate Ganglion Block. Stella Center is dedicated to providing patient access to the procedure via clinics throughout the country. The center was founded by Dr. Eugene Lipov, a world-renowned board-certified anesthesiologist in partnership with Dr. Shauna Springer, a licensed psychologist and nationally recognized expert on trauma.

Dr. Lipov is widely considered the pioneer of treating mental trauma symptoms with SGB and has performed over 1,000 procedures for patients across the world.Over more than a decade, Dr. Lipov has continually refined a best-practice approach to providing SGB for those with emotional trauma. Stella Center will continue to advance innovations in trauma and will expand to include a team of highly skilled providers who are fully committed to expanding the horizons of effective trauma care.

Though it is covered for pain procedures, the Stellate Ganglion Block for mental trauma symptom relief is not yet covered by insurance. Stella Center offers a financing program to make this treatment accessible and affordable for patients.
